430 or go home!!
4:10 gears

- Start date
I would go with higher gears but this is my DD.
at 80 my mach is at 2700 or soo. thats still a chill rpm on the freeway. like i said 430s all the way.. get 410s youll wish you got 430s
My buddy in Hawaii has 4.56's in his 01 Cobra.....then again he does mostly City driving. Says he loves it though.
I'm pretty happy I got 4.10's personally. A Happy medium since I do about 70% highway driving. Still get 27mph @ the speed limit:rockon:

Yeah? 4:30's would be sick. Just not sure:shrug:
But then again i do about 50% highway driving. So i might just stick with the 4:10's. Like you said a happy medium, thats what i want.
Thanks man you wont be disapointed when its all done. Im thinkin about what I want to do next but im not sure. what do you think PM me so we dont jack this thread.
Stay on the thread!!! I love seeing what you guys are doing to ur cars. Gives me ideas!:rockon:
No problem.
Watch it with the LT's in CA. Try to find a shop that is LT smog friendly. Also if you plan on doing a lot of dig races and using 'nice tires' I would highly consider going with a 31 spline setup when you upgrade the gears. If not, I would at least front the $250 for 28 spline hardened mosiers.
Thanks for the props guys....I'm definitely not as sharp as a lot of others out there though. I appreciate the nice feedback dont' get me wrong. I'm jsut here to help where I can.:beer:NP- and ponygt65 def knows what he's talking about. ....another you can look to for inspiration is 03AV8R. His Mach is SICK.

This is an old thread on how to get your Mach into the 11's. Some great info in there (as well as some serious BS.:lol
GL bro.:beer:
LOL:lol: I was literally just about to ask you what spline i should go with when i do my gears. I saw that the other guy had snapped his rear axle when he went to do his first launch with the 4:10's. Not sure if i asked this before but whats the difference between 28 spline and 31 spline? And im guna go with Motive gears and Moser axles.
Personally I'd go with 31 or 35 spline. 35 might be overkill for under 500 RWHP- but once you get the mod bug it's hard to stop.:rockon:
Don't forget a good clutch.
It's the number of splines or 'teeth' on the axles/carrier/gearing. More teeth, the stronger they are.
It really depends on what he's planning. Most guys go with 31s and are fine. I've seen a few guys with 33 spline's, and rarely 35s.
It really comes down to grip and stick with the Torque. If you can't afford it right now, and you aren't going to be using DR's much, then the hardened (stronger metal) 28 moser's should be fine. If you can afford it, and plan on doing some DR racing, then I'd up for hte 31s (or 33s for future as MACH1ISMC states).
As for clutch?...again that depends on what you're doing. If you're not going to spray it much, especially with a 100 shot, I would just ride out the stocker for a while. But, it'll save time, $$, and potential headache to change it now with the rear dropped. Just be a few more bolts to take everything else to do the clutch. Ya just have to call and ask. I'd compare prices on having it done with the rear, and how much later.
As for which clutch?...I'm sure a spec stg 2 would be fine. I dont' have first hand experience with them though, so some one else may be better suited to answer.
Sweet! I was looking at the Motive and Moser gears and axles and i was curious. They have the 7.5" and the 8" and the 8.8" axles. Whats the best?
Mustangs have 8.8 rears. Call your local shop that's doing your rear end and get a price to upgrade the rear to a 31 spline setup. :beer:
Correction...new mustangs come stock with 8.8s..dont' wanna confuse anyone.
Buddy of mine is running 35's on a 9in with 4.10's and a spool in his 99 bolt on Maro.....pretty sick setup.
I guess the thing I am thinking about is plan for the future. I'd rather have STOUT stuff from the get go than have to upgrade everything everytime I get more HP. Which is why I currently have a Spec3 clutch. Besides it's not that much difference in price between the 31/33/35 splines...or between the clutches. At the end of the day even if you don't get all the HP increasing mods you'll have a bullit proof setup no matter which direction you go.

How much does a 31 spline setup usually cost? I am doing 4.10 gears and should upgrade while I'm in there.
I found these: http://www.americanmuscle.com/moser-31spline-88-axle-9904.html $270 bucks is pretty cheap, just wonder how much the shop will charge me to install them while they are in there doing 4.10's.

Um, well first off i would recommend this website: http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=A883153+01, $20 less than ^^^, and secondly my buddy just did his 4:10's and some clutch work and his total for install was $560. So im guessing somewhere around 1k for Gears, Axel and install.
Oh I agree.....I'm just trying to point out to try and avoid too much overkill. LOL. I agree with what you're saying though.
They provided gears, clutch, install kit, fluid and everything?...that's pretty good. NOthing against that shop, but when It comes to gears, If it's a darn good price, I tend to stay away. ONly because gears can be finiky.
Im not going to go through the checkout process, but does that site offer free shipping. Also American muscle gives us a 6% discount.
Also I just got quoted roughly $600 for 4.10's. Here's my questions. Would a auto hit hard enough to warrant 31

Yeah i agree! Im guna shop around and get some quotes.
And im actually not sure what the total is after tax and shipping. But im guessing if you get 6% off and free shipping it'll be roughly the same.
